DeWalt 20V Max XR 1/2" Mid-Range Impact Wrench with Hog Ring Anvil
Choose the DeWalt DCF891B for a cordless half-inch socket wrench if you already have compatible DeWalt batteries. The DCF900GP2 kit is the alternative when you need batteries and a charger included; choose the Milwaukee 2967-20 if you want to use an M18 battery setup.123

DeWalt 20V MAX XR 1/2" High Torque Impact Wrench with Hog Ring Anvil
The DCF900GP2 kit includes two oil-resistant 5.0 Ah batteries and a charger, with stated maxima of up to 1,030 ft-lb fastening and 1,400 ft-lb breakaway torque. Check access and the vehicle’s procedure before choosing it; the rating is not a guarantee that a seized fastener will release.25
Milwaukee M18 FUEL 2967-20 Half-Inch High Torque Impact Wrench (Tool Only)
The Milwaukee 2967-20 works with M18 batteries and chargers. Its stated up to 1,200 ft-lb fastening and 1,600 ft-lb nut-busting ratings use M18 REDLITHIUM FORGE batteries; the 5.9 lb tool weight excludes the battery.36
